About The IGF

IndieGames.com is presented by the UBM TechWeb Game Network, which runs the Independent Games Festival & Summit every year at Game Developers Conference. The company (producer of the Game Developers Conference series, Gamasutra.com and Game Developer magazine) established the Independent Games Festival in 1998 to encourage innovation in game development and to recognize the best independent game developers.

UK-based indie studio Mode 7 Games announced that Frozen Synapse, its much-praised turn-based tactical PC title, will release for iPad -- the studio says it's worked on the project for a while now, and expects to release it in the first half of 2012.

The developer says Frozen Synapse's iOS port will "definitely" have cross-platform play with the PC edition, so folks on both platforms will be able to command their teams of virtual soldiers against each other in Laser Squad Nemesis-style combat.

Mode 7's Paul Taylor reassures current fans, "I don't want people to worry that we're going to abandon FS on its current platforms - we're actually working right now to hire another team member so we can give it more attention and update it more efficiently."

The studio says it still has a "a lot of work to do on the interface as well as some additional tweaks" at the moment, but it will be ready for a beta after that. You can see photos of people checking out the iOS game at a recent meet here.
